In this message, Katherine Sikma Wadsworth reflects on the Emmaus road story in Luke 24 through the lens of neurobiology, exploring how our brains respond when our life story falls apart. She explains concepts like bilateral stimulation, co-regulation, and the reshaping of neural pathways to show how Jesus' calm presence helps the disciples process their confusion, grief, and hope. Katherine invites listeners to become a healing community for one another—holding space, telling the truth of our stories, and recognizing Christ's presence at the table and in our shared lives.
